Welcome, 5! So glad you are here! How is the pre-op diet going? All liquids, or does your doc allow some food? You hanging in there? I've heard day 3 is the worst.

I'm on day 8 of my pre-op diet now. It's a combination of medi-fast and liquids. I'm hanging in there, but I've had some VERY difficult days. I'm losing weight which helps make this easier to deal with, but the surgery can't come fast enough.

Looks like you are about two weeks behind me! Good luck on your surgery!!!

I wasn't nervous at all until I tried to go to sleep last night. That's when it hit me. I'm all set and ready to go now. Just waiting for 7:15 to roll around so I can hit the road! I'll still be early, but I'm excited!!! I'll post as soon as I can afterwards! Thanks for the well wishes!

I'm back home from being sleeved yesterday. As expected, they fixed the hernia I had. I'm still pretty sore and very sluggish. Having trouble getting my liquids down today as I'm experiencing the slime! No fun. Will try to figure it out tomorrow.

Good luck to those coming up behind me in the process.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
